Around the Majors - 2022 Version

Is that really the play? I thought Thornburg looked decent in his time here. Definitely could do worse for a back end guy.

Complex league.

They won't assign kids that young to full season ball unless they're UNBELIEVABLY special - and not likely even then until they've had some success in the complex league.

Diego Benitez likely in this category as well.

???

9.3 IP, 6 runs, 10Ks against 5 BBs.

I get that Snitker didn't use him, but also not exactly sure that helps much.

His numbers are skewed by one bad game. That’s going to happen when you pitch once every two weeks.
 
Point is, Thornburg is a back end guy, and he’s fine in that role. I don’t see how Lee is much of an upgrade if at all.

I don't think either will (or would have) be used much regardless - Snitker ALWAYS seems to have at least one guy he doesn't use for weeks at a time just before inexplicably running them out there in a tight situation and expecting them to perform well.

See Tomlin, Josh.

I mean, Josh Tomlin was a mop up guy and a terrible one at that. He had no business being on the roster. Not apples to apples.

Not exactly sure Thornburg had shown them much more than that - they were using O'Day and Chavez before even thinking about going to Thornburg as a last resort.
